All of the things you say causes 100% disk usage should use 100%. The hard drive is the slowest part of any pc and therefore other parts have to wait for it to load data. So since you have a high end CPU the harddrive has to run at its max capacity to try to keep up with the rest of the system. I think your problem is not related to disk usage.
